Cocoa powder, 2% milk and one tablespoon of maple syrup: about 6 g of added sugar a mug against 16 to 23 g in envelope mixes, at 168 calories, so not a lighter drink.
Four lemon-garlic cod fillets at 200°C (400°F): first check at 10 minutes for a 1-inch fillet, done at 145°F, and about 146 µg of iodine in every 3 oz of baked cod.
Butternut, sweet potato and Brussels sprouts tipped hot over raw kale and dressed while warm: 590 calories a bowl, 15 g of fiber, and half a day's sodium mostly from the salt you add.
Twelve muffins from ten eggs and a cup of cottage cheese: 9 grams of protein each, 19 in a breakfast of two, and 329 mg of cholesterol in that same pair.
One cup of broth a bowl carries 2.7 grams of protein. The chicken cutlet poached in it carries 27, and the finished bowl lands at 45 grams for 463 calories, with no coconut milk.

One cup of broth a bowl carries 2.7 grams of protein. The chicken cutlet poached in it carries 27, and the finished bowl lands at 45 grams for 463 calories, with no coconut milk.
One saucepan, a cup of cocoa, 16 squares at 195 calories each. Natural cocoa carries nearly nine times the flavanols of a heavily Dutched tin — and with no baking soda here, either bakes the same.
Golden garlic in good olive oil, glossed onto al dente spaghetti with starchy pasta water — the earliest printed recipe, in Cavalcanti's 1837 Naples treatise, used just two cloves. Ours uses six.
